L ' : : , : --h ?; One Of Ohio $ Cjreat !ew&paper& VOL 61 NO 15 20c April 12, 1979 We pose a question that deserves an answer. A few years ago the United States Bureau of Mines conducted a test on the feasibility of using animal waste as a source for the manufacture of fuel for autos, trucks and airplanes. They built a pilot plant and conducted exhaustive tests. The findings reported stated the project was feasible that sufficient fuel could be manufactured annually to provide all requirements of the motoring public, commercial trucking and air transportation and at about the same cost. The report was filed and not one plant was built to provide the much needed fuel the American public requires. Why? That's the question we present for your consideration. Write your senators and congressman -- ask them why no action has been, taken. Do you know what a political boycott is? We do. We've been threatened by one. We're hot too concerned about the ; threat, Such boycotts usually backfire. Unless this boycott is immediately ended -- as we were assured it would be we'll tell you the whole nasty story next week naming names and telling you the reasons behind this so far. unsuccessful attack on freedom of the press. Politics make strange bedfellows. At a recent McDonald's Restaurant reception Republican Councilman Norman Anderson was heard to introduce Democrat Clint Reph as "our next rnayor." Strange when most of us know that from 1980 through 1984 it'll be another DePaola Administration with a bright, young Democrat likely to be the new Ward Three councilman. 'mmmtttttttttiimtttimt Pronouncements of Amherst ft T ' n c;i!.i Of TL I . J, Hull Wilson! school officials to questions by The Journal (Lorain) reporter on the hiring of Dr. Don W. McBride make us wonder at the intellect of those supposed to be educated educators. We can accept the findings of the personnel check by the school board. However, the answers by those who had the investigation instituted are ludicrous and completely unacceptable - don't you think? When a group of politicos attempt to gag the press you can bet your last simoleons they're running scared. Those who fear the views of others would have you know no opinion other than theirs. Beware of these jackals. They're easy to identify, they usually run in packs. We know them from their actions and by name. Some can be charming .w hile others are despicable. Know a few in Amherst political circles? Tell us who they are and you might happen to know one we haven't yet encountered. Watch them and don't discount their strength and talents -it's your freedom they hope to usurp.
